Self defence part 2

Wow didn’t realise anyone actually read this blog so part 2. Sorry for the delay.


The guy decided it might be a good idea to grab my wrist, (for the non-martial artist this is the simplest grab to get out of and something we teach lower grades), split second thing I went for one of the first things I was taught purely on reflex and twisted out of it.


In the process I slipped my hand around his wrist bending his hand backwards placing my thumb into the pressure point on the back of his hand. As anyone who does a martial art will know this hurts like hell and your reflex is to bend over.


I then proceed to walk the guy down the stairs and hand him over the door staff.


Me:This ***** has just attacked me (while shoving him into the bouncers hand)

Bouncer: Looks shocked at the little 5’1 whiny girl shoving this guy at him.


I the turned and walked carmly back into the club to drag the rest of my mates away from his.


I don’t know why I reacted like this and it was purely reflex looking back now it wasn’t the brightest idea and the way I had him did leave me open to attack but luckily it worked.


Thanks guys for your concern Medic999 although that was very tempting I don’t think my instructor would have looked favourably on it or the police for that matter. You can also most likely fill in the blank of what I called the guy above typical geordie.


Project Mini

This is most likely going to give away who I am. Im adopted by my dad but know my real dad who is a violent abuse horrible man.


My step dad has always been my really dad and has raised me however we have never undertook a large project as just us two.


So the plan is to buy a salvage Mini and do it up Im going to create a second blog to chart the progress, just need to find a car 1st.

Martial arts

To all you girls out there seriously take up a martial art or self defence class. Ive trained in taekwondo for a number of years now and have always seen the self defence we are taught as a bit boring and never thought I would use it.


How wrong I was.


At 10pm I got convinced into hitting town with some of the girls from my old flat so after a quick change it was off into town and straight into the club seen as it was already 1am. The RnB room of this club is upstair and is like a club in its own right. After getting ripped off at the bar £3 for a VK shock its Newcastle prices all over the region now. We decided to have a shot at dancing (cringes) that’s where the problem started, this group of men of African decent just wouldn’t leave us alone and could barely speak English. I thought nothing of it and wondered off to the toilet, one of the guys followed me and tried to drag me into the mens toilets.


I never thought I would ever use any of my taekwondo outside of the doujang, but was quickly proven wrong when he just wont let go of me.


More detailed post in the morning when I carm down and I apologise for any mistakes in this post if it just doesn’t make sense right now.

Domestic violence and whos the daddy

As a way of distracting myself from the dread assignments I started watching Kimberly young mum ten years on on 4OD and it made me think about what went on in my past.


Ive grown up with my mam and step dad but been forced by a court order to see my real dad. He was violent and regularly assaulted my mam and me, even all these years later I still find it hard to trust men.


People have pointed out that I generally go for Asian/coloured guys and don’t generally fall for white guys. I wonder if this stem from the fact that my step dad is Chinese and I trust him and love him, where as my real dad is white and when ever I see him all I associate him with is the violence in my past.


Recently ive found out that the male that contributed 23 chromosomes forged my signature on company documents leaving me liable for his company. In my eyes my real dad is the person which has brought me up where as my biological father is purely a sperm donor.

Quick update

I didn’t get the job mentioned below however I did get an offer of an interview for another HCA job which to be honest I prefer, mental health hasn’t never really been an interest of mine.


Taekwondo going good I now think I know all my patterns which is a good sign for getting my black belt.


Better post tomorrow im off in the bath now after a hard training session HIIT kills when done properly.

HCA interview

Has my HCA job interview on Monday which was a disaster. I got totally lost and ended up being 15minutes late instead of a planned 30mins early. The interview went really well as well but being that late no way will I have got the job so its back to the application board boo.


The questions I got


Tell me a bit about yourself and why you want the job?

What is your impression of the **** centre (Mental health hospital)?

What is a therapy?

How would you deal with a patient that was shouting and adjitated?


There was two others which ill upload if I can remember them.


On another note I finally got round to seeing my GP who diagnosed me with exercised induced asthma so I need to adjust my training for the great north run. Its also only 3 weeks till the end of term scary stuff.


Im also still on the look out for work experiance if anyone has any suggestions
